How RentTaxCheck researches, checks, updates and corrects its landlord tax calculators and guides, including our sources and use of AI tools.

Accuracy first

Every figure on RentTaxCheck is taken from a primary source: GOV.UK, HMRC manuals and guidance, Acts of Parliament and HM Treasury Budget documents. Each guide and calculator lists its sources at the bottom of the page.

How pages are produced

We research the rules, write the page and build any calculator. Then we test results against hand-worked examples, which are published on the page so readers can check them. We use software tools, including AI writing assistants, to help draft and review text. A person checks every figure and rule against the official source before it is published.

Keeping pages current

Each page shows the date it was last checked. After a Budget, Spring Statement or major HMRC change, we review every affected page. Future rates, such as the 2027/28 property rates, are labelled as subject to legislation.

Corrections

If you spot an error, email hello@renttaxcheck.co.uk. We aim to fix confirmed errors within two working days and note significant corrections on the page.

Independence
